A Year Later: Doctoral Dreams!

Before we installed a borehole well at Muriola Primary School last year, the students' lives included much more hardship.

"We had [a] rough time getting water since we were normally sent to go fetch water from a stream. At times, it was [during] class time," said 13-year-old student Faith K. "Then, sometimes, one could get so thirsty, but the water was never available to aid in quenching the thirst."

But now, Faith doesn't have any concerns about finding water since it's always right there on school grounds. Faith explained what life is like now that her school has easy access to water.

"It's a nice feeling," she said. "[I] have never been worried that I'll get to school and miss water for doing the cleaning and even drinking when thirsty, since [I] am sure of the water's availability. Also, [I] am able to collect water from school that I use for bathing immediately [once] I get home, thus maintaining [the] cleanliness of my body."

With present worries diminished, Faith now has an eye toward the future.

"[My] class concentration has increased, thus helping me achieve my goal of being a doctor," she concluded.
